Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a natural healing material created from your own blood that slowly releases growth factors to support tissue regeneration and reduce inflammation. Unlike PRP, PRF forms a fibrin matrix that provides a sustained release of healing proteins for longer-lasting regenerative effects. In oral surgery, PRF is commonly used after extractions, bone grafting, and implant procedures to enhance healing and improve outcomes. At Los Angeles Oral and Facial Surgery, Dr. Tow prepares and applies PRF during your procedure to support healing exactly where it’s needed—without introducing foreign substances.

PRF uses your body’s own growth factors to speed recovery after surgery and support healthy tissue regeneration.
By reducing inflammation, PRF can help minimize pain and bruising following procedures like extractions and dental implants.
PRF supports bone and tissue integration, improving healing quality and helping protect the success of grafts and implants.
A small amount of your blood is drawn at the start of your visit, similar to a standard laboratory test. This quick process provides the foundation for creating your personalized healing material.
Your blood is processed in-office using specialized, low-speed centrifugation to isolate platelet-rich fibrin. This preserves healing proteins and creates a natural fibrin matrix that releases growth factors gradually over time.
PRF is applied directly to the treatment area during your procedure, whether for extractions, grafting, or implants. This targeted placement supports faster healing exactly where your body needs it most.
After placement, PRF continues to release natural growth factors for days to weeks. This promotes tissue regeneration, reduces inflammation, and supports smoother recovery.
PRF does not use additives or anticoagulants and forms a natural fibrin matrix. This allows for a slower, longer release of healing proteins compared to PRP, which delivers growth factors more quickly but over a shorter time.
Yes. PRF is made entirely from your own blood, which eliminates the risk of allergic reaction or disease transmission.
Not at all. The blood draw and centrifuge processing take place while you're already being prepped or sedated for surgery. It integrates seamlessly into your treatment without affecting your experience.
